Woke up wondering something: both his & her phones they had on the trip are missing (fact from LE).
My question: if he had her password (which I believe) he could have logged in & deleted things locally but also from the cloud. If he deleted local stuff from the phones (eg photos & texts), & from both clouds, then threw the phones in the swamp, what would LE be able to “get” off the phones with a warrant vs the actual object? I think they can still get retrieve texts but I’m not sure. What about photos? Voicemail? gps of phones on given dates? Edit to add: I’m wondering if they’re searching SO hard because he may have done enough cloud erasure that it makes LE need the physical phones. I hope I’m wrong! Tia!
